Freud believed that repression, the basic mechanism that banishes anxiety-arousing impulses, enables other defense mechanisms.
Defense mechanism:Unconscious process employed to avoid anxiety-arousing thoughts or feelings.
1) Regression:Retreating to a more infantile psychosexual stage, where some psychic energy remains fixated. Example: A little boy reverts to the oral comfort of thumb sucking in the car on the way to his first day of school.
2) Reaction formation: Switching unacceptable impulses into their opposites. Example: Repressing angry feelings, a person displays exaggerated friendliness.
3) Projection: Disguising one’s own threatening impulses by attributing them to others. Example: An El Salvadoran saying captures the idea: “The thief thinks everyone else is a thief.”
4) Rationalization: Offering self-justifying explanations in place of the real, more threatening unconscious reasons for one’s actions. Example: A habitual drinker says she drinks with her friends “just to be sociable.”
5) Displacement: Shifting sexual or aggressive impulses toward a more acceptable or less threatening object or person. Example: A little girl kicks the family dog after her mother sends her to her room.
6) Denial: Refusing to believe or even perceive painful realities. Example: A partner denies evidence of his loved one’s affair.
